The 3 highs:
Hypertension/
Diabetes/ Cholesterol
What is “3 Highs”?
“3 Highs” refers to hypertension, hyperglycemia (diabetes) and hyperlipidemia. These conditions are often referred to as “diseases of affluence” in modern society. These diseases may exist independently or be interconnected. For example, individuals with diabetes are prone to simultaneously having hypertension or hyperlipidemia, and hyperlipidemia is a major factor in atherosclerosis, where decreased vascular elasticity in individuals with atherosclerosis may lead to elevated blood pressure. Therefore, the presence of any one of these 3 diseases may eventually evolve into “3 Highs.”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the principle behind DS probiotics lowering blood pressure?
Is it suitable for diabetes patients to take DS probiotics?
Diabetes patients can consume DS probiotics. When a large amount of probiotics is ingested, they compete with harmful bacteria in the intestines, prompting glucose in the blood to be utilized preferentially, thus accelerating glucose metabolism and lowering blood glucose levels. Additionally, probiotics are rich in dietary fiber which can adsorb excess sugar, starch, fats and trans fatty acids, aiding in waste and toxin elimination, thereby reducing blood sugar levels. Probiotics also have immune-regulating functions, helping to prevent excessive immune responses from damaging pancreatic islet cells.
Can probiotics lower cholesterol levels?
-
Probiotics can interfere with the absorption of cholesterol in the intestines, and this effect becomes more significant when there is a large amount of probiotics in the gut.
-
Probiotics can directly assimilate and absorb cholesterol. Experimental evidence has shown that placing probiotics in cholesterol-rich culture mediums can significantly reduce the cholesterol content.
-
Metabolites produced by probiotics can influence systemic lipid levels. Probiotics’ production of bile salt hydrolase contributes to the binding of cholesterol with bile acids, thereby reducing the chance of cholesterol entering the bloodstream.
The recommended method of intake for diabetes patients:
For those who are not using insulin but need to take medication to control diabetes, it is recommended to space out each dose by 3 hours.
- For overweight individuals, it is suggested to take 2- 3 packets per day, either on an empty stomach in the morning or before 2 main meals.
- For lighter individuals, it is recommended to take 1 packet per day, either on an empty stomach in the morning or before bedtime.
For diabetes patients using insulin, it is advised to take the DS Probiotic 15 minutes before meals. These methods can help manage diabetes and promote gut health.
